Chapter 347: Homecoming
Zhou An smiled and drove on, the new building at home was already in sight, and the pure white appearance was beautiful in the sun.
"Wangwang! Wang......"
Suddenly two dog barks came from the side of the road, drawing his eyes to it, because the dog barking was a little familiar.
Then he saw the yellow dog named "Shao Chong", as well as Qin Meixing.
Qin Meixing was wearing a loose jacket today, rubber shoes on her feet, and a hoe on her shoulder, looking at the posture of going to work in the field.
Seeing her, the smile on Zhou An's face unconsciously retracted a little, not that she was unhappy, but that her mood was a little complicated! After all, they had met each other frankly.
"Sister, where do you go to the ground?"
Qin Meixing brushed the hair on her ears and smiled at him, "Well, there's a little grass in the ground, while the sun is good today, I'll go hoe, how are you doing?"
At this time, Zhou An had already stopped the three rounds of electricity, "Well, I'm fine, what about you?"
Qin Meixing also stopped, "I, heh, I'm not the same, I'm fine!"
Otherwise, some relationships can't be broken through casually, because once they break through, it is almost impossible to return to the original state of natural coexistence.
For example, at this time, he and Qin Meixing stopped each other and wanted to say a few words to each other, but after a simple greeting and greeting, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what to say for a while.
It's going to be embarrassing!
So, before the awkward atmosphere permeated, Zhou An looked at the "Shao Chong" at her feet, the yellow dog.
Then, there was a new topic.
"Sister, why is this dog still there? Didn't your mother-in-law say she was going to slaughter it last time?"
Hearing this, Qin Meixing also looked at the yellow dog at her feet with a smile, "My mother-in-law said that she was going to kill it and eat meat, saying that it was an immature wolf cub that her family would bite, but I didn't let it! After all, last time it was Guangyao who blew it up with firecrackers first, which scared it hard, and it wouldn't bite me under normal circumstances." Besides, after all, it was raised from childhood to adulthood, so why would you want to kill it?"
"Oh, yes, yes!"
Zhou An nodded in agreement.
Qin Meixing said again: "Although my life was saved, my mother-in-law still couldn't get angry, and she broke her hind leg with a stick, and now she is limping when she walks." ”
"Oh?
Zhou An blinked, and suddenly raised his hand to Shao Chong, who was squatting at her feet.
"Woo......"
Shao Chong reflexively, jumped back, stared back at Zhou An vigilantly, and walked around behind Qin Meixing on four legs.
Zhou An looked at it, and sure enough, as Qin Meixing said, one of its hind legs was broken, and it walked with a limp.
"What are you scaring it for? Look at what you're scaring it!"
Qin Meixing said angrily to him.
Zhou An laughed, "I'm just a little curious." ”
Qin Meixing rolled his eyes.
Shao Chong whined at him behind her, looking at him very unkindly, but he didn't dare to rush up, looking like he was squeezing inwardly.
"Alright, that's all for today! I'm gone, there's still life in the field!"
Qin Meixing said goodbye.
Zhou An nodded, "Okay!"
Qin Meixing walked away with the hoe, Shao Chong followed her ass step by step, turned around after a few steps, and stared at Zhou An vigilantly, as if she was on guard against him suddenly coming up to give it a look.
Zhou An shook his head and said secretly: This dog was castrated first, and now his leg has been discounted, and his courage is getting smaller and smaller.
……
The car drove into his yard, and Zhou Taihu was rubbing straw ropes on the concrete floor in the front yard.
In other words, Zhou An did not break his promise, and promised to make a cement floor drying field near the courtyard gate for drying when the family's grain was on the market.
He made a third-third of the front yard a drying field, and two-thirds of the way near the new building dug a small pool, piled up a rockery, and a small wooden pavilion with two winding paths leading to it.
The rest of the place is still empty, and he plans to plant some flowers and trees, in short, green!
He wants a little more green in the yard.
This is still the front yard, except for a cobblestone path in the backyard, the other reserved places are all planned by him to plant flowers and trees.
"Are you back? Have you eaten? Why don't I cook you some noodles?"
Seeing his son come back, Zhou Taihu raised his eyelids, said, casually spat into the palm of his hand, and continued to rub his straw rope.
"I've eaten, you're busy with you! The rape in the field has fallen again this year?"
When Zhou An got out of the car, he asked casually.
"Well, the other day it was windy, and it poured a lot. ”
The father and son asked and answered, if the people in the city listened to this, or the people in the places who don't grow rape, they would definitely be confused?
What kind of dumb riddle are these father and son playing?
In fact, it is literal, the wind has recently blown down some rape in the field.
This kind of thing is very common, and people who grow rape will encounter it at both ends of three years.
It is good that the rape straw is a little shorter, but some varieties of rape straw are very long, after growing, more than one meter high, it is good when there is no strong wind, once the wind blows, these rape will staggered in the field, and it is easy to cover the ridges that people often pass by.
At this time, you need to rub some straw rope to pick up the rape that covers the ridges.
Otherwise, often trampled on, the harvest will definitely be reduced.
In the city, there are various ropes such as straw rope and nylon rope for sale, but most people use straw to rub straw rope at home.
Zhou Taihu is doing this job, Zhou An has seen a lot since he was a child, and he has seen him rubbing almost every year, so as soon as he saw him rubbing the grass rope, he guessed that the rape in the field had fallen again.
The father and son didn't say much, Zhou An got out of the car, threw a cigarette over, lit one himself, and went straight to the new house to check the decoration progress.
Before I even entered the door, I smelled paint from afar.
As soon as I entered, I saw a painter wearing a newspaper hat painting the TV background wall in the living room.
"Brother Li, it's hard work! Come on, smoke a cigarette!"
Zhou An looked at the other party's work, and took out a cigarette case and politely gave the other party a cigarette.
The painter turned around and saw that it was him, showed a smile, and took the cigarette, "That's what I eat, what do you say is hard!"
Zhou An also smiled, "Brother Li, how many times has this been brushed?
In his previous life, he also bought a house, and naturally renovated it, and he knew a thing or two about it.
"It's the second time, when this brush is dry, we'll brush it again, and it'll be almost the same, and there will be another three or five days at most!"
"Well, okay, then Brother Li, you're busy, I'll go upstairs and take a look!"
"Well, okay, look at yours!"
……
Saying goodbye to Brother Li downstairs, Zhou An went up to the second and third floors to take a look.
Those who have renovated the house know that the paint is generally the last to enter, and after the paint work, the hard decoration is almost completed, and the rest is to purchase some furniture, household appliances, curtains, bed sheets and quilt covers, etc., collectively referred to as soft decoration.
Zhou An didn't make much furniture for this new house, because the furniture styles made by the carpenter in these years seemed to him to be dirty, or it would be outdated in a few years, and the finished furniture he bought was not beautiful at all.
Therefore, his decoration here is also simple, mainly to connect water and electricity, pave floor tiles and floors, as well as ceilings, paint and so on.
Now, it's almost done.
The exterior wall is painted with white paint, and the color arrangement inside is also very simple, in line with the three-color principle, the decoration of each floor, the use of no more than three colors.
For example, in the hall on the first floor, the paint on the walls is light yellow, which is simple and warm, and the floor tiles are 80*80 brown yellow floor tiles, which are darker than the color of the walls, in order to create a sense of heaviness on the ground.
The door and screen are partitioned in milky white.
The second and third floors are paved with solid wood floors in the color of wood, the wall color is changed to light green, and the doors and door frames are still milky white.
The reason why there is such a difference between the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor is that he has two considerations.
One is that the first floor is mainly for receptionists, and his parents live, and the local traditional decoration style will be more suitable, while the second and third floors are the private spaces he got for himself, so come according to his own preferences.
The second is that he wants to distinguish the decoration style of the first and second floors, so that the home environment is a little more changed and a little more innovative.
